DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC61668 Status: Closed

BUFFER POOL RESIZE DURING OPERATIONS ON MDC TABLE MAY CAUSE
UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
If a lock escalation occurs during processing to find a free 
block, and the block map page moves to a new memory location due 
to a buffer pool resize operation at the same time, then the 
wrong address in memory may be referenced, resulting in 
unpredictable results, such as reusing an already-inuse block, 
rows inserted into the wrong block, or duplicate block IDs.
